That is an interesting perspective, one I do not share. My son drove our 2000 Tacoma through HS and college into Law School. Zero issues and a very stable vehicle. It is still on the road being driven by the father of a poster here.
Most of his friends drove trucks and Jeeps without incident. My first car was our ranch truck, etc.
I do get the price concerns, but a four cylinder Taco isn't exactly a rocket ship.
My wife's 2003 4Runner Sport is, however...one with a V8 would be a screamer.
Happy hunting!
